Ingredients

1 medium red pepper, diced

1/2 cup diced onion

5 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove moisture

2 chicken sausage links, chopped

6 large eggs

4 ounces cheese, grated

1 1/2 cups milk

3 cups bread, cubed (Italian loaf or a baguette work well)

Black pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon paprika

Optional: ½ tsp cayenne pepper

Directions

If serving immediately, preheat oven to 350F. Alternatively, you may cover prepared mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for baking the next day.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Spoon into a greased 9 inch x 9 inch baking pan.

Bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes, until desired degree of doneness is reached.
